MEET US IN THE KITCHEN: Take a hands-on cooking class, gardening workshop, or join a conversation about food and culture. We host these classes for all regardless of ability to pay or skill level. Check out the schedule that includes other public programming and events. It is our hope to bring everyone together in the kitchen to learn about healthful food in a variety of fun and interactive ways.

Our Community Kitchen Classes fill up quickly! Please take a moment to pre-register to reserve your spot - we look forward to seeing you!

Volunteer Orientation

Volunteer orientation is your window into everything we do, and how you can be part of our work! It's an important first step to getting involved as a volunteer.

During orientation, we'll discuss Local Matters' mission, programs, and provide an overview of some of the volunteer opportunities available, along with details about how to sign up for those projects, events, and activities.
